In the Few words for the Judges" in
last weeks STANDARD, the old, old stand
was taken that was worn to slippery
smootlne-s long ago, that man is the
natural protector of woman, and there
fore she must have no voice in the al
fairs OF state. Why? wonder. Cannot
man protect woman still, if she votes ?
" He shall perform the first processes to-
wards providing food and raiment, not
only tor himself but for those of the fe-
male sex depending on him" atlirms this
sapient protector. If he does all that :,
where is the time to attend to the affairs
OF state Ii man is the sole bread win
ner, woman ought to be the politician.
&" He shall bring to the home the results
of the chase and the fruits OF the field, :"
therefore women shall not vote. Is that
law, logic, or nonsense?

female suffrage has never had a legal ex-
istence here" SAYS this foe to sentiment,
and there is no probability of the de-
cision ever being overruled." DO you
hear that. women? 1t is the opinion Of
one of our protectors, and he says it has
become the imnIutable law of the Terri
tory, 1t was once the law to fine man
for kissing his wife on sunday, and once
it was the law OF this illustrious land to
publicly whip Il man for a certain INSIDE

A VERY snrage reply to Mr.. Ayers
comments on the Supreme Court de-
cision appears in this issue, and two
very pacific yet argumentative letters
from two of the disfranchised class.
Mr.. Savage seems to have regarded
Mr.. Aver as the matter under con-
sidcration and not the act of the
Supreme Court. We have. there
fore, assumed the privilege of atiixing
title to his communi cation that" en-
braces the object OF the bill" and the
reader will probably agree that it is
not likely to fail on account of more
than one object being either expressed
or implied. While We are willing to
devote considerable space to the con-
sideration of Il subject that engages SO
much attention at the present time,
We ask contributors to be brief and to
avoid personalities. This "rulc" will
be applied as stringcntly hereafter rs
that of the Supreme Court prescribing
the exact number Of inches and frac-
tons of an inch that the page Of Il
brief shall measure.
